Methods: This study used a analytic study with a retrospective approach, with secondary data from the medical records of anatomic pathology examination results in colorectal adenocarcinoma patients in General Hospital of Cengkareng in 2019. Result: Based on the result of the chi-square statistical test, the relationship between age and the degree of differentiation of colorectal adenocarcinomas was found to be p-value 0.476 (a>0.05). Whereas the relationship between sex with the degree of colorectal adenocarcinoma was found to be p-value 0.049 (a<0.05).
